cancer of the hand?

impure · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 17, 06

soooooooooo
on sunday i was out for soup with a friend, and noticed what looked like an itchy bug bite on my hand, after a few minutes i noticed it looked like a rash.
i thought nothing of it.
the next day the "rash" appeared to blister.
like a bunch of tiny blisters in a cluster about the size of a nickle on the back of my hand.
that was yesterday.
last night the tiny blisters thought it would be a good idea to join forces into a big bastardly blister. part of that big bastardly blister tore over night. that part appears to be bleeding a tad.
it all hurts, it's a bit swollen and looks like something out of a horror movie.
bubbly skin and such.

wtf is it?

it looks like it could be a chemical burn, but i hadn't been in contact with any chemicals that i can remember.

right now it's been soaked in tea tree oil with a band-aid on top and a glove over the works to protect it.

it's really quite aweful to look at.

anyone had anything like this?

when we were in seattle a bum came up to us and was begging for money..

my normally very jerkish friend decided "what the hell" and handed the guy a 5 dollar bill.

the bum was ecstatic and as he grabbed the cash out of his hand he clasped his hands over my friends..

no less than 20 minutes later my friends hand was absolutely inflamed with little red bumps. nastiest thing i've seen in a long time.

needless to say.. he doesnt give bums any money anymore.

That was a total shot in the dark, spelling-wise, but I know how it's pronounced!

Holy shit, I almost spelled it right.

Now that I think about it, and pay more attention to your timeline, if it was necrotizing fasciitis, you'd probably be in the hospital by now.

Hey, maybe you are!
